Race, Gender and the Media: Week 8

I’ve never much cared for rap or music videos of any musical genre. I wasn’t surprised by what we watched in class, but it still makes me sick.

Thank God for the few and far between instances, like the TLC video. Too bad it’s not enough to break up the loud and blaring message girls get from society that drown them out. Parents have to be active in making sure their children get the correct message.

I’m glad mine were. I hope I’m able to get it across to my daughters, my little sister, and my niece and nephews. And any other children I come across.
